The server will be taken down sometime next week for some hardware upgrades. I do not have an exact time just yet, but as soon as I know I will reply to this thread as well as update this post. Hardware should arrive at the datacenter Monday, but the company who is building boincgames.com will also ...

Beta Phase

Will be making the final payment on the site development this coming week. Once that's done, I'll obtain the files and database information. It will then be loaded onto boincgames.com's server where we will enter the public beta testing of the site. I expect the beta testing to last until December, ...

Spread the word

Anyone here willing to go to each active teams web site or other form of communication to invite them to join the competition?

We are getting really close to beta testing phase and I'd like to have some other teams hop on for that testing.

Re: Volunteers to help run and maintain the site

Stats are updating on the marathon now.

Pretty sure the Sprint will need something custom done on it, so I've made a post on the WCG forums asking how to get it done.

If they don't give me access to do hourly updates, then WCG will be omitted from the Sprint.

Re: Volunteers to help run and maintain the site

It's not that big a deal, just want you guys to get familiar with it all. The Sprints dates will be setup and known prior to the start of the year (or within' a couple weeks) anyway so it will only need to be done once anyway. I'm thinking of running around 6 Sprints a year, and scheduling them so t...

Re: Volunteers to help run and maintain the site

Make sure you edit the start and stop time. The Sprint is scheduled to start at 25 minutes after the hour. I think they'll be better to start on the hour, since the stats will update on the hour. Also, do not select the Sprint project. Make sure it's set so a random sprint will be selected. I know y...

Has to be a different username that you aren't using for regular user.

The admin control panel is a different login, but shares the same user table. So usernames have to be unique.

Volunteers to help run and maintain the site

I'm looking for around 5 people who will be willing to help maintain the web site.

This will include managing active projects by adding or removing them from the competition.

Helping set up the "test" sprints for stress testing the project servers.
